Transportation/Personal Injury

In this jury trial, the plaintiff, a passenger in a car driven by her husband, claimed that our client's 18-wheel truck struck her car in the rear on Sunrise Highway in Baldwin, New York, causing her to sustain serious physical injuries. We presented evidence on behalf of our client that plaintiff's car swerved into the lane that the truck was traveling in. After three days of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our clients, finding that the driver of the truck was not negligent. Accordingly, all claims against our clients were dismissed. Kelly v. Sciarrino Industries, Supreme Court, Nassau County
